== Description

Optionally specify an initial indentation `level`, whose absolute value is incremented recursively for nested objects&period; If `level` is specified, optionally specify `spacesPerLevel`, whose absolute value indicates the number of spaces per indentation level for this and all of its nested objects&period; If `level` is negative, suppress indentation of the first line&period; If `spacesPerLevel` is negative, format the entire output on one line, suppressing all but the initial indentation (as governed by `level`)&period; See `toAscii` for what constitutes the string representation of a `JsonFormatter&lowbar;State&colon;&colon;Enum` value&period; Return a reference to `stream`&period;
